READING FOR THE YOUNG.
"2RIDE GOES BEFORE A FALL"
A Little Mothers Lecture to Her Dolly.

A Little Mothers Lecture to Her Dolly. Dolly! o Dolly my darlingl you're much too naughty to-day. Come here to my arms this moment, and listen to what must say, It's horrid to have to scold, and it isn't my way at all But must impress on your mind that Pride goes before a fall! There's wee little scowl on your forehead, and toss on the tip of your nose, That told me, the moment saw you, you were thinking too much of your clothes; After all my carefullest teaching, to think that your very first ball Should make you forget in a moment, Pride goes before fall! I've told you over and over, whenever you had new dress, That loved you not one bit better and loved you not one bit less; That liked you best for yourself, so pretty and sweet and small, And that Pride was dreadful thing dear, that goes before a fall! I used to be just like you, so fond of sashes and things, And when I was dressed in my best it seemed that my feet were wings And that could fly with delight-but now am grown so tall, And know, for my mamma has told me, Pride goes before a fall! Besides, Ihave felt it myself; for as sure as sure could be, The time was most pufed up was time of trial for me; There was always a slap or a snub from nurse or Kitty or Paul O indeed I know very well Pride goes before a fall! So Dolly, Dolly my darling, be sure you heed what say, And never look naughty or vain as have found you looking to-day; Now let me tie on your hat and we'll go to make call. But never, RsUer forget dear, Pride goes before a fall!

VERY HUMAN.
Our YO1

Bright "Max," Who Understood His Mis-
 tress and Shamed the Man with tn e
 "Sneezing Dog"
 The gap between brute intelligence and human reason does often seem a very narrow one. I remember being greatly entertertained by the display of ''mind'' in little dog belonging to Miss Chamberlain, ''the whistling soloist. " During a call, the little fellow came in. Presently, Didn't you hear some one drive up, EIla?" said Mrs. Chamber lain to her daughter, in an ordinary tone
 Max, the little Skye terrier, was lying on the mat. He at once jumped up from his apparent sleep, ran to the window, stood on his hind feet, and looked out, and seeing no one turned to the amused company and shook his head sideways, expressing an emphatic '.No."
 Shut the door, Max" said his mis- tress. The little fellow looked up, cast his eye about the room for an open uOOIp dllu StCillS IllO AAOLAI htbiA uOOA open, pushed away chair, frisked i1 behind, rose on his hind feet, put his fore-paws against it and pushed it to, after which he ran to his mistress for approval.
 You didn't shut it."
 Looking around and seeing it swing ing open he ran back and shut it as be- fore, and came back to his mistress.
 "Why, Max, it isn't shut nowr'
 Seeing it open just crack he went back with an evident spirit of disgust, and standing on his hind feet, reached his fore-feet almost to the knob and stood there striking the door spitefully until he heard the latch click, when he jumped down and frisked his little tail and fairly danced all over with de- light

 Gan you waltz for me, Maxi" said one of the ladies, upon which the little dandy acquitted himself gracefully. going round and round with playful antics. Want a piece of eake?" said she; and the dog came up as gracious as the most accomplished tease, wrig- gling all over with delight.
 "When do you want it?'
 "Wite off now; wite off noU, wite of Now," parked the dog, shaking his lit tie head with will.
 Cant you wait little?"
 "No, TO, NO. No, no, No." said he as though wholly out of patience, and she tossed him the cake.
 Can you play for the getleman, my boy?"
 Looking up at me a moment as though deciding whether he wanted to please me or not, he hopped upon the stool, stood on his hind feet. and rat tied the keys with his fore feet, striking them here and there, back and forth like any pianist. The noise given forth at his touch delighted him as much as ever it did a child. and though there was of course no tune, yet the air with which he would skip over the keys was highly entertaining.
 "And now, Max, let us have a sing" said Miss Chamberlain as she seated herself at the piano and began to play.
 He appeared to be in no mood for it and ran of, but she said nothing. played few strains and then she and her mother began to sing. Max at once scampered up into chair beside his mistress; standing with his fore feet upon the back of the chair. he stretched his neck, and tossed his head and went through all the facial contortions of a star" astist, while in a tone midway between a squeal and a whistle he sang all through, in apparent tune, evident ly enjoying both the performance and the encore in a quite human fashion.
 A caller present said as he took leave: q will bring my dog tonight and he shall teach you how to sneeze. Max" and home he went for his dog. Mrs. Chamberlain quietly took Max up on the sofa and told him the situation, and urged hlm to learn how to sneeze, before the gentleman returned. She sncezed for him. He tried it, but in vain. For long time she gave him the example and he struggled vigor- ously to get the knack of it. When he did hit upon it, he was as delighted as his mistress, and kept at his practice on his own account.
 When the gentleman returned with his ''sneezing dog" he was quite taken back to have Max greet him with a first-class sneeze. Max is proud of this requirement to this day.-Albert E. Winshjp, in Wide AlDdke.

LAZY TOM.
-Wide eAOdke.

His Mother Cured Him by Taking Him at His Word and Letting somebody Else Do It."
 Tom did not like to work. What to do with him was hard question for his father and mother to solve.
 He was generally known as Lazy Tom," and surely the name was just one, for Tom would not work if he could possibly help it.
 One day his father asked him to hoe some corn, as it was necessary for him to go to the village.
 As soon as Tom saw his father was fully out of sight, he dropped his hoe and speedily sought refuge from the hot sun in the shade of neighboring tree, and soon feel asleep. The hours passed quickly. and Tom did not wake. His mother went to call him to dinner, hoping to see him busy at work
 "Tomr' she called, but then she spied him under the tree.
 "Thomasl"
 "Wh-at?"
 "Come, Tom, I want you to come and"
 70 dear, can't somebody else do it?" he whined. half awake.
 70 yes," his mother replied, as she turned and hurried back to the house, leaving Tom very much amazed, think ing his mother in an extremely good humor to-day. But presently he was fast asleep again.
 The dinner table was cleared away, and the afternoon was passing, when Tom awoke from his dream Gin which he had lived in land where no one had to work) to find he was on this same world, very hungry.
 He quickly made his way to the house. but found no dinner waiting for him. On making inquiry he learned that some one else had eaten it for him, as his mother said: You asked if somebody else could not do it for you"
 At supper he was not called, and as he came in his father told him: ''You are not needed tonight, as we have decided to do your work for you"
 Next morning he was ready for breakfast, with his work done before any one else; and never again was he heard to say: Cant somebody else do it?'' This was the way Tom was cured. Our Youth.

MEANING OF NIAGARA.
A Mohawk Word Which, Freely Trans .
 lated, Is Equivalent to "Neck."

A Mohawk Word Which, Freely Trans .
 lated, Is Equivalent to "NecI<."
 The name Niagara was sometimes applied by the early historians, not only to the river, but to a defensive work and group of Indian cabins which stood at or near the site of the present village of Lewiston. La Sale constructed at this point cabin of palisades to serve as a magazine or store-house. In order to allay the jeal- ousies which the work excited among the Senecas, he sent an embassy to Tegarondies, the principal village of the confederacy, then located on what is now known as Boughton Hill, near Victor, in Ont ario county. They reached it in five days, after march in midwinter of thirty-two leagues on snow-shoes, during which they sub sisted only on parched corn. There they found the Jesuits, Garnier and Raffeix, who had been missionaries since 1869. A council was held with the Senecas, and presents inter- changed without favorable result. The French retraced their steps to their camp on the river, worn out with the hardships of the way, and glad to ex- change their meager diet for the deli cious whitefsh just then in season.
 The word Niagara was probably de- rived from the Mohawks, through whom the French had their first inter- course with the Iroquois. Some con- troversy has existed concerning its sig nifcation. The Mohawks affirm it to mean .neck, in allusion to its connect ing the two lakes. It is probably the same both in the Neutral and Mohawk languages, as they were kindred dialects of one generic tongue.-HiS- toricaL Writings of OrsGnaus II. Mar shall.

It Worried Him Considerably.

Friend (to Colonel Sprout, of Green Flat)-Helloa, Colonel, what makes you look so blue?
 Colonel-The sudden downfall of real estate in Green Flat, my boy. Just think, last week lots on Crawfish h street were selling at six hundred dol lars per front foot. Now look, will you? Gone down to twenty-five cents.
 Friend-Why didn't you sell?
 Colonel-Sell! why hang it, my boy, I had no land-not foot.
 Friend-Then why has the decline hurt you?
 Colonel-Oh, it worries me to think that 1 might have had lots and been fool enough to hold them until the boom passed.-ArkGnSaS TrGUeler.

Female Gum -Chewers.

Chew! Chew! Chew! It has become a National habit, and he or she who has not mouthful of gum or tobacco upon which the energies are expended is an exception. In social gatherings, on the street-car, at public entertain ments, it is the same everlasting wag- ging of the chin. Wax figures of the people of the present will be made, a thousand years from now, with per petual-motion machine hidden in the mouth to keep the jaws moving to be realistic representation. The figure would be caricature without it. Happy is the gum-manufacturer in this day and generation, for the cry is still for more of his products. Refined women can rival the most inveterate tobacco chewers in their power of chewing. Like the flowing of Tenny- sons Brook" their jaws wag on forever. ;-Toledo Blade.

The Sea Telephone.

Prof Trowbridge's plan of sub marine telephony, in which speech was to be transmitted between vessels at sea without the aid of any connecting wire, has been abandoned as imprac- ticable, as the system upon which MT. Edison has been experimenting in Florida is more promising of good re- suits. In this system the telephone signals by long and short explosive sounds. instead of by spoken words, and communications have been suc- cessfully exchanged through the water between vessels from three to four miles apart, with the prospect that the working limit may be increased with improvement on the apparatus.- Science.

Our earth will keep always the same face toward the moon, just as the moon now keeps always the same face toward the earth.
 Luckily, at the rate at which civilized races are consuming the stored wealth of the earth, the higher forces of life will have disappeared from the earth S surface long before slow cosmical decay or such still slower change as the moon is producing can seriously affect the comfort of her inhabitants. -RicbGrd 4.

According to the Roanoke (N. @ NeaoS, in a case tried a few days ago in that vicinity the jury could not agree, standing eleven to one. The one who held out against the others was a col ored preacher. From words spoken in the jury room this preacher, fearing that being exempt from jury duty as a minister of the gospel, he would not get any per diem if the fact became known, quickly changed his opinion and n0reed with the eleven.

THY MOTHER.

Lead thy mother tenderly Down life's steep decline; Once her arm was thy support. Now she leans on thine. See upon her loving face Those deep lines of care; Think-it was her toil for thee Left that record there. Ne'er forget her tireless watch Kept by day and night; Taking from her step the grace, From her eyes the light. Cherish well her faithful heart. Which through weary years Echoed with its sympathy All thy smiles and tears. Thank God for thy mothers love, Guard the priceless boom; For the bitter, parting hour Cometh all too soon. When thy grateful tenderness Loses power to save, Earth will hold no dearer spot Than thy mother grave. Kate Hogan, ia Springfield (Nass.) Rspnblican
